To calculate the molecular weight of each species. Plot the Cp, Enthalpy, and Entropy for the local temperature range. Explanation…

In this challenge, I am optimizing the stalagmite function and finding the global maxima of the function: Giving the inputs for x and y as an array. Then creating a 2Dimensional mesh of the inputs. Next, I am generating the stalagmite function. Then, I am going to run the genetic algorithm 50 times. …

In this challenge, we are doing the second-order ODE using a simple pendulum as an example: We have assumed the initial condition for the simple pendulum. L=1 metre, m=1 kg, b=0.05, g=9.81 m/s2. The pendulum's motion is for 20 secs, and the initial angular displacement and initial angular velocity are 0 and 3 rad/s. So…
